I can't understand his rant either. I thought you made a valid point, to be honest, although if you take away Crusaders and Catalans that's 50% of Super League represented.

Vasty. For you to call anyone one eyed is unbelievable! I present you with the FACTS. You may not like them but once again I will show you up.
2 of the representatives Adam Milner GB captain and Jordan Thompson (scored the try that got them back in the game off good work from Milner) CAME THROUGH THE TRINITY SCHOLARSHIP. Do not look for excuses your club let them go.
Trinity won the Academy league a couple of years back, fantastic. The fact of the matter is though that while Trinity were playing the 18's at that level most other clubs were using them in the 21's. Wakefield had a shocking set of 21's the year they won the comp and promoted nobody.
Another Wakefield Scholarship lad has just signed signed for Wigan and is regarded as the best half back of his age group,
Its time clubs realised winning trophies at this level count for NOTHING. Developing players s what its all about. Many of the lads today have had a shot a first team, the Trinity lads from the winning season have not.
The youth set up at Trinity is so poor you have to recruit the likes of Penny, Vievers, Johnson and the lad from Hull whose name escapes me. Where are the Academy champions?
Do not look for excuses, nobody is to blame but Trinity themselves, and please consider you own stance prior to calling anyone one eyed.

Milner looked very good when he played last year and hopefully will be getting plenty of game time this year, been told that another young hooker we have called clarke has even more potential which bodes well for the future.

As for the team
Perhaps you could have said well done to the team for what is probably the best moment of their RL lives to date before branding the team selection pathetic?
Just a thought

All of Warrington's representatives played the whole season at u20 level (where Warrington finished top of the table over the regular season). Perhaps if Warrington have left them at u18 level all season they might have won the competition but have players not as well developed.
I know that Warrington has a club want their young players to be challenged week-in week-out so as to make them better players. This tends to give the club an u18 team made up primarily of u16's and u17's (but the best u17's play at u20 level) whilst the u20's consists of a large number of u18's. In fact O'Brien and Laithwaite who tunred out for England u18's have played almost exclusively at u20 level for two years now.

46042.jpg [quote="Bonzo":23qz4bj5]Corrected.
Incidentally, an exclamation mark ends a sentence and does not require a full stop. The first letter of the next word begins a new sentence and should therefore be capitalised. [i:23qz4bj5]Who needs flankers[/i:23qz4bj5]' grammar was actually correct.
HTH.

You get better much much faster playing against better opposition. Thompson and Milner are now both first team regulars ar Cas. They will be fantastic players by the end of next season. The youth policies at Wigan and Wire have to be applauded. I am amazed at the lack of Saints players though. That is unusual. The worrying thing for me now is that Wigan and Wire have top notch 1st teams with huge wage bills and I can't see many of the young ones breaking into the first team.
I hope the wigan coaching staff carry on their policy of dropping players no matter who they are. It will be difficult though. As we have seen, the aussies throw the teddy out and go home all the time. Unfortunatley the kids in this England team will probably end up being duel registered and develop a lot slower than they could.

Sorry John but I have to dissagree with that part of your post!
The youth set up at Trinity is very good and consistently identifys, recruits and develops a lot of tallent. The problem at Wakefield seems to be a lack of commitment or policy when promoting those players to 1st team football.

On which note - well done to Leigh for getting the game on. I don't think too many other games around the country have gone ahead this weekend.

Hence the system is poor.
I also believe holding those 18's back to win the trophy was a massive error which could cost a few of them a shot at first team rugby which is criminal.
The idea of a youth set up is to develop players and get them through to first team level and Trinity have failed to do so, or have let many of the best younger lads leave to sometimes higher profile clubs, but often to clubs of the same standing which is criminal.
